Create an itinerary including Ledra Street Crossing Point
Ledra Street Crossing Point presents a division of one capital city among two countries. Lined with passport controls, the site provides insight into the turbulent past and present of the region. Featuring Greek-Cypriot streets, people, and culture one side and Turkish-Cypriot markets, beliefs, and lifestyle on the other, the crossing point is a rare place where you can switch between two significantly different worlds in a matter of minutes. If you are going to spend time with the locals, it's best to skip political talk on either side.

  • The formalities were a breeze. This was a low season experience, as a single male visitor. I am not opening the political can of worms here

  • Very simple & easy way of crossing between the Greek side and northern Cyprus(Turkish side) in Nicosia. We just showed our passports at checkposts at both sides(to & from) and did a fantastic day trip to the northern Cyprus with delicious Turkish lunch.
  • As of May 2022, you only need a passport to cross the Green Line (the rules are changeing quite often). The officers scan your passport at both sides and it’s a very quick process! Keep in mind that you may need to queue for a few minutes when going back to the Greek Cypriot side, but I’d still say that you can cross in a few minutes. Sadly Nicosia remains the last divided capital in the world, but crossing the border into the northern side of the city is a very unique experience, don’t miss it! PS: as the euro is currently way more valuable than the Turkish Lira, you can pay with Euros at most touristy places in North Nicosia (Büyük Han, Restaurants, the market…) at a rate of 1€ = 15₺
